Looming tariffs on imported cars could mean more than just higher prices for buyers and lower profits for automakers – it could also mean layoffs for American autoworkers.

The reality is that april 2nd is Recession Day or Subjugation Day-no matter how they spin it american consumer is not stupid-they know that we will be paying more money for everyday items-US corporations moved their business out of the US for decades to increase their profits-
Since Muck and Trump want to trash the economy, I'm sure this will come as good news to them. The Psycho Broligarchs don't care about the rest of us. They think destroying the United States will help make their dreams of becoming immortal god-kings into reality.
Not just Michigan. Every state that has auto plants and parts manufacturers -- especially foreign automaker plants, which tend to be non-union and located in red states.
Would I be wrong in assuming that American auto producers would take advantage and increase their car prices anyway. I mean, if the competition costs are 25% higher, it's surely a no-brainer for them to raise their prices by 20%.
Yeah... nothing builds American confidence than a wait & see, "trust the process" mentality
Meanwhile, folks are hunkering down, getting vaccine boosters, buying chickens, hording vegetable seeds & fluoride toothpaste because they're afraid of what the psychopath nut-jobs in charge will do next.
Check reports that trump is using tariffs as a smokescreen to get costs up and is instead going to announce on Wed that he is dissolving the Fed and going to go back to the Gold Standard to lower costs…also dig into who has been buying gold since Nov.
That piece of shit couldn’t write a whole sentence that made sense. Somebody’s writing all this documentation for him to spout and take credit for. He us surrounding himself with “smart” folks that can do that. His escape clause is he will point the finger to them when things fail.
No, they refused to endorse her probably because they representative is owned and is actively selling them out. That actually happens I’m in a nurses union and that was the case before our union leaders got the boot and we changed unions, way before my time
Buit the union boss says he likes the tariffs mistakenly thinking the US will bring back auto manufacturing. Not happening other than some smoke and mirrors to make the uninformed DON the CON happy.
You put your tariffs in,
Your tariffs out,
In, out, in, out, shake them all about,
You do the hokum presidency and run the economy aground,
That's what it's all about.
American Citizens stop Trump from ERASING democracy. Elon committed a crime in WI: bribery. No one gets $$$$; it's a scam, don't be fooled. FOX NEWS; LIES. Visit https://Ballotpedia.org or your local gov offices to determine the upcoming elections for which you can vote now & in 2026. VOTE BLUE in WI & FL.
European auto maker are already looming to produce in canadian and mexican factories. Canada will do more business with europe and cuting it off withs usa car maker. At the end, canada will face a hard transition but we'll be ok. US plant? not so sure due to the fall of exportation in all the world
Canada needs to reinvent itself.
Painful, a d probably for a while, but the next generation will never have to worry who is elected president of the United States to see if they can still provide for their families.
will be painfull. but we can be surprise how fast business maker will find new deal or market. IT's been almost a year that i eard that europe feel to weak with USA and they are working to be free of USA defense. it will come with business opportunity
But but but Shawn Fain said this was a good thing! And a recent editorial in the Toledo Blade did too! They must know SOMETHING that every bit of history regarding tariffs hasn't already demonstrated, right?
There’s a lot of tariff coverage of the increased price of new cars but far too little of the increased price of auto parts to maintain the cars millions already own. People who will now be priced out of a new car will find just keeping their current car running will also cost more.

Within 2 months, he nearly destroyed the world order that brought a long-lasting peace to the Western world.
Thanking Americans who are fighting and suffering for the world.
Zero sympathy for the dumb shits.

2. Used car prices will spike because new car prices will rise.
3. Auto insurance will rise since repairing cars will cost much more.
4 Lost jobs, Inflation, recession and overall STRESS!
Right?
